The Accent on the "l.ro.o

In selling lots be careful
OF the proper emphasis;
If, when confused, tits wrongly used,
A chance you'll surely miss.
For instance, when Il piece you'd sell,
Say, "Sir, I'd have you know
Next this is the proposed hotel,
With the accent on the PRO.
"Next this is the proposed hotel,
With the accent on the PRO.
Now, when broader sweep you take,
And deal in desert tracts,
When you have cut a big, wide swath,
And used up all your facts;
Say 'Mister, over yonder grass,
Just where the hills are low,
The new proposed broad gauge will pass"
With the accent on the pro"
''The new proposed broad gauge will pass,
With the accent on the pro"
If in sand-beach you should place
Your credit and your cash,
For every dollar run your face,
Then dread an awful smash
Don't let your spirits tumble down
But to your broker go;
But advertise, proposed new town."
With the accent on the "Pro"
But advertise, proposed new town.
With the accent on the PRO"
This maxim follow right along
In every spec you make,
And then you never can go wrong,
But all the good tricks take.
Have this the burden of your rhyme
Proposed Proposed" Proposed,

With the accent on the "Pro."

SONS AND SIRES.
Heirs of Their Fathers Names
But Not of their Genius.


The death OF John Clay, the COM
monplace son of an illustrious publ
cist, may recall that in American his
tory there are but two conspicuous ex-
amples of that influence OF heredity
which equips q son to follow with sue
cess in the footsteps OF a sire renowned
as statesman. A son of John Adams,
second President OF the United States,
became in course of time q tenant OF
the White House. And his son, serv-
ing the republic with honor i'll its most
important diplomatic post, was more
than once urged as an available candi-
date for the Presidency. Opportunity
may invite men to undeserved promi-
nence, but in the present as in pre-
ceding generations of the Adamses,
well-defined capacity for public af-
fairs is clearly apparent. The father
of Thomas +. Bayard, Secretary OF
State and formerly Senator from Deld-
ware, is the son of James A, who was
also a Senator from that State, and
grandson of the Bayard who was one
Of the Commissioners to negotiate the
treaty of Ghent, and Senator of the
United States from 1904 to 1913.
Whatever other success in life they
may have achieved, or however blame
less their personal career, the sons of
American statesmen of the greatest
achievement, other than those men
toned, have generally played no
more conspicuous part in public
affairs than the only remaining son OF
Henry Clay, the one who, at the age
of sixty-seven, has just died. John
Clay might, perhaps, claim that if he
had no talent for craftsmanship, he
was better stock breeder than his
father.
A number of the Americans fore
most in the distinction of place or of
merit left no heirs of their body.
Washington and Jackson were child
less. Jefferson's boys were all girls.
Buchanan never married. 1t is scarce
ly worth while to inquire if Madison
and Monroe left personal descendants,
for it can be recalled that no one bear
ing their name has been an actor in
the field wherein they were famous.
The son of the most patrician-like
President-Washington possibly ex-
cepted-Martin Van Buren,, acquired
a certain, but not altogether fortu-
nate fame. Known as Prince John,
because of an airy affection of dignity,
growing out OF his connection, the wits
OF the day started the story that he
aspired to the hand of the Princess
Victoria. Yet there was substantial
talent in the young man. He was
Attorney General OF New York in
1915, became famous as Free
Soil orator, and settled down to the
practice OF the law in New York City.
He died at sea more than twenty
years ago. Old Tippecanoe's grand
son, late Senator from the State of
which his grandsire was for many
wears Territorial Governor, felt in
1884 the STRINGS of ambition, and
having come to Chicago as a member
of the Indiana delegation, hastily re-
turned home that he might not be

They met when they were girl and boy,
Going to school one day,
And, won't you take my peg-top, dear?
Was all that he could say.
She bit heI little pinafore,
Close to his side she came;
She whispered, mol no, thank you, Tom
But took it all the same.
They met one day, the self-same way,
When ten swift years had flown;
He said, "pve nothing but my heart,
But that is yours alone.
And won't you take my heart ?' he said,
And called her by her name.
She blushed and said mo, thank you, Tom,'
But took it all the same.
And twenty, thirty, forty years
Have brought them care and JOY
She has the little peg-top still
He gave her when a boy,
''Pve had no wealth, sweet wife, said he,
"Ive never brought you fame;'
She whispers, "No! no, thank you, Tom
You've loved me all the same"

America, and does not come north OF the

will become very popular. They are about
the size of pea fowl. and their plumage
varies from glossy black to gray, and
there is occasionally one that is mottled
white and black. They have peculiar
tuft of feathers on top of their heads,
which they can raise and lower at will.
In Brazil these birds run at large like wild
tur'Ieys, and it is good sport shooting

dlewonderfully fine eating. There is such

Pawning Her Boys Clothes for Medicine.
A poor woman in Wales, whose boy had
been very i'll for several years. had expend-
ed all OF her means to pay for medicine
At last the doctors gave him up and said
he must die. He suffered so terribly with
Rheumatism that he could not be moved.
One day some one told her about the
Mount Lebanon Shakers. The evidence of
the curative power OF their Extract of
Roots was so convincing that she pawned
the poor boys clothing to buy bottle of
the remedy (Siegers Syrup, but now she
feels proud that she did so, for it was the
means Of curing her son. The Shakers say
this was the result OF Indigestion and tina.
the msdicine cured the Dyspepsia, and that
the rheumatism was nly symptom Of the
real disease. For coughs the Shaker Tai
Capsules are strongly recommended.
